Match Preview

Czechia U21 face a do-or-die clash against Germany U21 in their second group-stage fixture of the 2025 UEFA European Under-21 Championship. After a disappointing 3-1 defeat to England U21 in their opener, Czechia find themselves in a precarious position, sitting third in Group B with zero points. Their campaign began with promise, especially after a strong qualifying run that saw them eliminate Belgium, but the loss to England has left them needing a result to keep their hopes of progression alive.

Germany U21, on the other hand, started their tournament in emphatic fashion with a 3-0 victory over Slovenia U21. Nick Woltemade was the star of the show, netting a hat-trick and propelling his side to the top of Group B. The Germans are perennial contenders at this level, having won the title twice in the last four editions and finishing as runners-up once. Despite a disappointing group-stage exit in the previous tournament, they seem determined to make amends this year and are already in a strong position to secure a quarter-final berth with another win.

Historically, the head-to-head record between these sides is fairly even. In their last ten meetings, Germany have won four times, Czechia twice, with the remaining four ending in draws. Notably, Czechia claimed a 2-1 victory in their most recent encounter at the 2023 U21 Euros, showing they are capable of upsetting the odds. However, Germany have scored in each of their last ten meetings with Czechia, underlining their attacking consistency.

In terms of team news, there are no major injury or suspension concerns reported for either side ahead of this fixture. Czechia will be hoping that Daniel Fila, who scored their only goal against England, can provide the spark up front, while Germany will look to continue their attacking momentum with Woltemade leading the line. Both teams are expected to field their strongest available line-ups as the stakes couldn’t be higher for Czechia, while Germany will want to seal qualification early.

Key Players

• Czechia U21: Daniel Fila (scorer vs England), Adam Karabec (creative midfielder), and Martin Vitík (defensive anchor).
• Germany U21: Nick Woltemade (hat-trick hero vs Slovenia), Youssoufa Moukoko (dynamic forward), and Eric Martel (midfield engine).

Prediction

Given their recent form and the quality in their squad, Germany U21 are clear favourites. Their convincing win in the opener and attacking depth should see them control proceedings. Czechia, needing at least a point, will likely play with urgency but may struggle to contain Germany’s firepower. Expect Czechia to show resilience, but Germany’s superior quality and tournament pedigree should see them through with a 2-1 or 3-1 victory.

Betting Markets & Odds

Germany U21 are heavily favoured, but with both teams’ attacking records, goals are expected. Czechia’s need for points could open up the game, making both teams to score and over 2.5 goals attractive options.
